The Ransom

Haru nodded, agreeing with Kagami's idea.

"I want to make Konoha bleed once. You can decide the price, but not one or two. We don't accept any bargaining. I don't believe that Konoha still has the strength to find trouble with us. As for Sunagakure, let's delay it for now and see what kind of price he is willing to pay."

"What if Sunagakure doesn't want to compromise?"

"It doesn't matter. How much money do you think Sunagakure has left at this time of the war? It's just an arrow at the end of its flight. For the sake of the so-called five great countries and for the chance to defeat Konoha, they have been holding on. But in fact, Sunagakure's internal affairs will definitely not accepted, their finances and population are in danger."

Therefore, if Sunagakure is really so angry because of an old woman that he hollowed out his last foundation and sent to attack Amegakure, then I can only say that Hokage and Kazekage are a man! Without the need for Konoha to do anything, Iwagakure from the Land of Earth will probably not be able to resist and attack the Land of Wind.

Kagami thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed as Haru said. Through these few exchanges with Sunagakure, he could clearly feel the gap between them.

The elites in the early stage of the war were real elites, killing people was like drinking water!

But when the late stage of the war, the so-called elites might not be the real elites, or they might be the ones who pulled out the big ones among the dwarves and forcibly gathered the 'elites', but in fact, they were probably just a little bit stronger than ordinary ninjas?

Because most of the true elites were probably dead.

Of course, there were also exceptions, such as those true experts who became braver the more they fought, who stood out after experiencing the battle.

However, these people were still in the minority.

Another thing worth mentioning was that the reason why Haru left Chiyo alive was not because his sense of aesthetics was broken, even an old woman was starving, and even more so, he was not like Kagami who was trying to buy money and time for Akatsuki's development.

Instead, it was a forbidden technique that Chiyo had developed at some unknown time, a forbidden technique that could truly bring him back to life!

Although Sasori's parents had only died not long ago, and there was a high chance that this forbidden technique had not been created yet, it would not be a loss if he caught them first, and there would always be a chance in the future.

"I understand. I will go and write a letter now." Kagami prepared to leave.

"Oh right, there is one more thing. Choose a hundred people, chop off a hundred fingers and send them back. Otherwise, it will not be convincing. Moreover, you have killed so many of our people. You have to give everyone an explanation."

Kagami paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "I understand. There will not be a next time."

Obviously, with Kagami's brain, he had already understood the intention of Haru.

He deliberately left many people alive not only because he did not like killing, but also because of his previous feelings. After all, the 'family' who had left their lives for so long was not something that could be forgotten easily.

At this time, Haru, who was sitting in his seat, also said,

"You are the person I trust the most. When you can't go down, think more about how we were stopped outside the door of Konoha, and let those people keep humiliating us! And how were we chased by so many people, even the expression when they were forced to let us go was so high and mighty, as if they were pitying us."

"The former Konoha has died, and we are going to build a new Konoha together, belonging to us, Konoha!"

"There are some things that I should forget."

Kagami nodded his head heavily in silence.

And on this day, he personally gathered a hundred of Konoha's fingers and sent them to Konoha together with the letter that was full of provocation!

People who killed people were always killed!

There was no one who could not pay the price!

The matter of being a whore and still wanting to establish a chaste memorial arch was not feasible here!

Since it was a war, it was up to strength to speak.

It could be imagined how furious Suna and Konoha would be when they received this ransom.

.........

Several days later, Sarutob Hiruzen smashed the table in front of him with his own hands.

He had almost lost his mind and gathered all the remaining people to kill Amegakure and that hateful Akatsuki!

However, he couldn't do that, because Jiraiya still had the lives of more than two hundred of Konoha Ninjas in the hands of the other side.

If the other party's request was extremely excessive, then he could still resolutely refuse 'grief'.

However, the other party only wanted money and a promise that he would never invade. This made him somewhat uncertain.

The ransom money was not cheap, but Konoha's family was large, so it was not lacking in this bit of money no matter where he dug.

And that promise was nothing more than to worry about getting revenge after the event.

Sarutob Hiruzen wanted to kill the other party, but he didn't know where he could get people to come out. Therefore, he temporarily let Amegakure go. It was not impossible. It would be the same if he could come and kill this group of bastards later.

What really made him angry was the other party's arrogant way of doing things!

At the same time that he sent the ransom, he also attached a hundred bloody fingers, causing this matter to be unable to be suppressed and began to spread.

The person in charge of delivering the things was an extremely arrogant young man. He opened his mouth and said, "If you dare to touch me, the next time you send me a 'meeting', I will send you ten carriages."

Using ten carriages, what was that?

Was it a head or a corpse?

All of a sudden, everyone was frightened.

This caused everyone to be anxious and angry, and they could do nothing about this bastard.

Sarutob Hiruzen was somewhat stalling for time, using the excuse of bargaining to send the other person away.

In the end, this idiot directly said, "Yone-sama specially warned me before I left. I'm sorry, but I refuse to return the price! Either you cut me down, and then the more than two hundred people will be buried with me! Either I bring the money back, or I can't lose one or two taels! You can do as you see fit."

Really fucking awesome!

Sarutob Hiruzen was so excited that he almost slapped this guy to death on the spot.

In the end, he really had no choice but to find a few higher-ups and have a meeting together.

Not to mention how important Jiraiya and Orochimaru were to Konoha, who did not show up and thought that they were also caught. If the more than two hundred ninjas were to ignore them, Konoha's reputation would be ruined if it was spread out. The hearts of the people would also disperse. If they mentioned the will of fire again, who would be stupid enough to fall for it

So the final decision was to pay!

Something that could be solved with money, how could it be called a problem?

As for promises, weren't they just used to destroy them? Sooner or later, they would take revenge.

As a result, he really let the hothead bring the money that Kagami had drawn up back. He was even afraid that something would happen to him midway, so Sarutobi even sent two Anbu members to escort him back.

As for whether he had any other thoughts, it was unknown.
